What to Do With Cremation Ashes: 7 Unique Options
The traditional urn on the mantel simply isn’t for everyone. Today, people actively seek memorials that reflect a unique, vibrant life. If you are wondering what to do with cremation ashes, you will find many extraordinary ideas. Ultimately, you can choose unique cremation options that truly honor your loved one using the specific services we help coordinate.
1. Keepsake Memorial Jewelry
First, you can keep a small portion of the ashes close to your heart. We work with Keepsake & Jeweller Partners to help you utilize a tiny amount of cremated remains. Therefore, your loved one stays with you beautifully wherever you go.
Sending Ashes to Space
For stargazers and dreamers, you can look far beyond our planet. Space memorials offer a truly breathtaking final journey, and we help you coordinate the exact paperwork needed for these celestial flights.
2. Earth Rise Sub-Orbital Flight
You can send a symbolic portion of ashes on a sub-orbital flight. During this journey, the spacecraft experiences zero gravity before returning to Earth safely. It is an incredible, accessible way to touch the cosmos.
3. Earth Orbit Spaceflight
Moreover, we can help you coordinate a memorial spacecraft launch into orbit. It circles the globe for months or years before a blazing re-entry.
4. Luna / Moon Orbit
Additionally, you can choose a permanent resting place among the stars. Memorial spacecraft can securely deliver ashes to the surface of the Moon or place them in permanent lunar orbit.
5. Voyager Deep Space Exploration
Furthermore, you can launch ashes on a pioneering deep space mission. These incredible flights travel far beyond our Earth-Moon system into the infinite cosmos.
6. MARS300 Deep Space Mission
Similarly, the MARS300 mission serves as the ultimate tribute for an adventurous spirit. This specific deep-space flight travels toward the vicinity of Mars.
7. Pair Your Memorial With a Living Legacy
While finding a resting place is important, planning your legacy isn’t just a financial task—it’s an emotional and spiritual one. Legacy planning goes beyond traditional estate management. Instead of just distributing assets, you can fund real-world legacy projects.
For example, our customized legacy estate planning services are designed to maximize the positive impact of your wealth. We help provide rent-free housing for people who are getting out of debt and working to rebuild their credit. You can easily combine a celestial memorial with philanthropic financial planning to help you give with confidence and clarity.
